what a shame! a leading discussion board like rediff does not understand how to start a discussion. There are other ways than putting asensational, controversial headline. If 'today's women are independent, career oriented, strongwilled and capable', there are numerous women who are denied the opportunities even to struggle to be 'capable'by their families, by the wider society and so on. There are so many who are not allowed even to be born, so many who are burnt, so many who are asked to stop education, so many not allowed free outside their homes... Think of it. You have a responsibility apart from crying fool when an injustice is done on the cricket field...there are so many issues based on colour, caste, creed etc...

Sreelekha, stop complaining. enough of that. Men too have porblems and very serious problems. But are we complaining? 50000 false cases of dowry every year, no social support, no concessions, tremendous responsibility to provide for the family in times of inflation, harassment by women is driving 50000 married men to suicide every year. So, don't post one sided stories. Post both sides.

You are not complaining. What are you doing in your above post? Singing or dancing? Few yrs of 498 A is making you so frustrated but you do not bother of 1000 yrs of cruel Patriarchy that we have been living with.

The same problems exist in rural India with male female both, same problem exist when we talk about reservstion SC/ST/OBC/etc. So why Women's Day. But why we talk about eqaulity on the basis of reservation.
